She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I wouldn't think your legs would explode in size too much if you only squat once maybe twice a week, and keep the reps to a minimum with high weight, because hypertrophy is what builds raw size. Heavier weights in a low rep range (1-5) will train the CNS to handle heavy weights and will build more compact, dense muscle.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Meh, I cant even fit into my pants anymore, Im done with squats and deads for a while. Sucks because I really dont get much back growth when I dont do deads. Heavy squats are not for everyone, especially those like me that would be Branch Warren/Tom Platz overnight.
i hate you!! :trouble: :crackup:PairPlusRoyalFlush said:especially those like me that would be Branch Warren/Tom Platz overnight.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm one of those people who got legs that grow no matter what I do (done everything from 5-20 reps, low and high volume). I can't even train calves anymore because they literally explode in size. I love squatting though. What works for me now is that I went from highbar narrow stance to lowbar wider stance squatting, squatting once every two weeks. Builds less mass on my legs.TheStig said:I wouldn't think your legs would explode in size too much if you only squat once maybe twice a week, and keep the reps to a minimum with high weight, because hypertrophy is what builds raw size.

When I started seriously squatting and deadlifting, my legs did grow a bit, nothing drastic though, probably because I always went for high weight - low reps.
You're right in saying squats aren't for everyone, but I think people play this card too much. The percentage of people who can't do squats is probably much lower than you think. In my opinion (and many others'), the positives far outweigh the negatives, if there are any.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

If you have trouble with finding jeans there are bodybuilder jeans out there that actually look decent and got thin waist and massive ass/legs space.
For OP, I tried reading the article but I just don't have the mindpower to actually manage to read it with all those asses.
Got no reason to bull**** you. Fact is I trained my calves with one single set on leg workout.DanZy said:I'm sorry but I'm very doubtful. The calves claim just pushed it too far
I can see your point with regards to your legs, not so much your calves. Though your legs are mighty impressive.Lifeforce said:Got no reason to bull**** you. Fact is I trained my calves with one single set on leg workout.
here's a pic of my legs, calves are around 43-44 cm I think. Still playing catchup with my upper body, that's why I'm cutting back on leg work.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
